iv. To prevent similar incidence from re-occurring, what mitigation steps will you suggest?
There are a lot of mitigation steps to prevent the similar incident from re-occurring. The first one is by improving the areas of infection control, written protocols, and appropriate training in the sterile technique to ensure a good practice. Other than that, designing the optimal sink design requirement for clinical microbiology laboratories to reduce transmission and infection at the sink. The last one is by using dry paper towels to turn off faucets after hand-wash and install the knee or foot controlled sink in laboratories handling moderate to high-risk microbes (Mermel et al., 1997).

v. Identify 2 other major risks of working with this agent.
The other two major risk of working with Shigella sonnei is the exposure of this bacterium into the environment, and poor waste management of Shigella sonnei.
vi. Identify mitigation measures for the risks you identified.
The mitigation measure to make sure that this bacterium not exposure to the environment is by doing all the protocol when handling the bacterium and wash hand after doing the laboratory works to reduce the bacterium from exposing to the outside of the laboratory. The mitigation measures to reduce poor waste management is by eliminating the bacterium in the right place and the right way so that the bacterium not spread to the other
